Parque Natural da Arrábida

The Arrábida Natural Park encompasses a series of landforms that form the Arrábida mountain range. This park was created with the aim of preserving the natural, socio-cultural, economic, and historical values ​​of the region. The natural and scenic importance of this area is enormous, due to its rare natural characteristics and scarce human development. At first glance, it seems like a wall over the Atlantic – the Alto dos Píncaros, at the top of the Serra do Risco, at 400 meters altitude, drops abruptly into the Atlantic – but the Arrábida Natural Park hides a multiplicity of morphologies that make it unique (mountains, hills, valleys, and escarpments). The highest point of the Serra da Arrábida is at 501 meters altitude, at Cimo do Formosinho.
